Hi Daniel,
I tried to install the following RPMs:
xen-debuginfo-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
xen-devel-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
xen-libs-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
They got installed successfully. But while trying to install
xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386.rpm
I get the dependency problem : error: Failed dependencies:
python-virtinst is needed by xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5.i386
You could also use yum's groupinstall option which will resolve the
dependencies for you at
install time.
If you want to install the virtualization bits you'd use the command
# yum groupinstall Virtualization
This of course will only work if you setup a yum repository either
pointing to your installation
source/tree or another RHEL5 repository.
If have your distribution media mounted as /rhel5tree you can use the
.repo file below.
Just save it to something like /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel5-ga.repo If you
mount your distro tree
somewhere else just replace rhel5tree/etc... with your local mount
point (same is true if you
are using the client bits) , or replace the file:/// directive with
a network location such as
http/nfs/ftp if you have your install tree available on the net

# rhel5-ga.repo
# should be saved to /etc/yum.repos.d/

I am not sure which rpm to install for this . Also I am not finding
the proper RPM for virt-manager,virt-install.
Are they present in the server image or client image?

You've missing the 'xen' RPM in that list. Also recommend installing
the virt-manager RPM

That is because you only installed the Xen kernel - you need the
'xen'
RPM from RHEL-5 to get the userspace tools
